Celebrity Justice
Gary Collins Busted for DUI -- Again

Gary CollinsWe've learned Gary Collins -- the former Miss America host and talk show host, has been arrested yet again for DUI.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Collins was busted at 9:16 last night by the CHP just south of Montecito, on suspicion of DUI. Law enforcement sources tell us Collins refused a field sobriety test but was subsequently given a blood alcohol test.

Collins -- former host of "Hour Magazine" and "The Home Show" -- was taken to the Santa Barbara County Jail where he was booked and released.

A year ago Collins pled no contest to DUI in an accident that resulted in the death of the other driver. Collins was not prosecuted for manslaughter, in part because the other driver caused the crash by making an illegal left. Collins is currently on 4 years probation. If he was driving drunk again, he'll almost certainly go to jail.

Back in 2002, Collins was found not guilty of DUI in Mississippi.

63. I am a recovering alcoholic, but back when I was drinking I never received a DUI, but it wasn't for lack of trying, as I drove drunk many times. As an alcoholic I was drinking 24/7 so it wasn't just a matter of getting home from the bar. I had to go to work, to the gorocery store, pick up the kids, all the things done in a normal day. I just hope that Gary finds a better way, because there is hope.

64. Drunk driving is fun! We try to see how many cats, mailboxes, etc. we can take out. We also take bowling balls we stole from the bowling alley and chuck them through rear windshields of parked cars as we drive by. Of course, we don't have that kind of courage when we are sober, so we try to drink everyday! S'fun! Spicy rum and cokes! And a doobie sometimes if we can afford it......

67. The Parade Magazine that comes out Sunday, February 1st, includes a

short piece on the effectiveness of interlocks. The Parade

article highlights the huge reductions in repeat offenses that

interlocks can achieve by making it so that drunk drivers can't drive

drunk. The article is up at www.parade.com/drunkdriving and

it's a quick read.
